With the implementation of China's three-child policy in 2021, the nurse population faces an increase in the number of breastfeeding nurses returning to work after maternity leave. This study aims to describe the work experience of breastfeeding nurses returning to work after maternity leave.
A qualitative descriptive design.
The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with eight nurses and analysed through Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis.
Three themes and nine sub-themes emerged from the analysis of the interviews: changes in nurses (emotional changes, physical changes and changes in work); needs for an improving work environment (needs for a supportive workplace and nurse shortage); support for breastfeeding nurses (support from coworkers, support from the manager, support from the organisation and own need for work).
This study highlighted that breastfeeding nurses need an adjustment period when they return to work after maternity leave. Successful breastfeeding requires support from coworkers, managers and the organisation. In addition, workplace support for breastfeeding and management for nurses needs to be improved.
随着 2021 年中国三孩政策的实施,护士群体面临着产假后返回工作岗位的哺乳期护士人数增加的问题。本研究旨在描述哺乳期护士产假后返回工作岗位的工作经历。
定性描述设计。
通过对 8 名护士进行半结构化访谈收集数据,并采用 Braun 和 Clarke 的主题分析方法进行分析。
通过对访谈的分析,出现了三个主题和九个子主题:护士的变化(情绪变化、身体变化和工作变化);改善工作环境的需求(对支持性工作场所和护士短缺的需求);对哺乳期护士的支持(同事的支持、经理的支持、组织的支持和自身工作的需求)。
本研究强调了哺乳期护士在产假后返回工作岗位需要一个调整期。成功母乳喂养需要同事、经理和组织的支持。此外,还需要改善工作场所对母乳喂养的支持和对护士的管理。
